Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 578 Sir, Please Stay (40)

"Mother, you knew that I wanted to marry Miss Gu, so why did you point her to someone else?"

"Don't worry, my son. There are many women in the world. With your status, you can choose any good woman you want. Why choose one who can't give birth?"

"Who said these words to you?"

"I have my own arrangements. I will arrange for you to meet a few young ladies tomorrow."

"Oh, that's not necessary. I have to go south to investigate the pest control. Please take good care of yourself in the capital."

Li Haozheng stood up. He just went to handle a difficult matter, but he didn't expect that the person he liked was already a married woman. It could only be said that it was fate.

"Akui, did I do something wrong?"

"Empress Dowager, Miss Gu is good, but her body is not suitable for marrying into the imperial family. The prince may just be in a whim and forget about it after a while."

"I hope so. His backyard is empty, and he has never touched any of his concubines. The imperial physician said that he has no illness. Could it be that he likes men?"

Aunt Aoi: ...

Fuxing City County Magistrate's Mansion...

"The daughter-in-law has met her mother."

"Well, get up."

After not seeing her for a few years, Mrs. Deng didn't expect that the former maidservant was so beautiful. No wonder her son liked her. Even if her belly was not good enough, she could still be a good match with other girls.

"Yes."

"Xiao Xi, it's impossible for a man to have only one woman in his backyard. It's a woman's duty to have children for a man. Don't forget that."

"That's what my mother taught me."

"You are a smart person. I won't say those words to your face. This will hurt the relationship between Wenjie and me as a mother."

Mrs. Deng kept reminding Gu Yuxi one thing after another, and Gu Yuxi agreed with her, but in the end, she actually found it boring. Could it be that this girl looked down on her son?

Her son has some flaws in his appearance, but this girl is not satisfied with it. Could it be that her son is really not good in that aspect?

"Why don't you tell me what you think?"

"Mother, what you said is correct. Your daughter-in-law is just listening."

Mrs. Deng felt like all her strength was wasting on cotton. She smiled and said, "Men should start a family and build a career, and the backyard is taken care of by women. Xiaoxi, you should be more responsible for him."

"My husband is the county magistrate of Fuxing. I know how he managed to keep this position all these years."

"You are his good wife. He just has a flaw in his appearance. There is nothing wrong with him in other aspects."

[Sister Xi, Jie’s mother thinks he is not good enough.]

"Mother, I am my husband's wife, so I will naturally be his good wife. It is not easy for you to come all the way here, so your daughter-in-law will personally make some delicious food for you."

"I am an old man now, and I don't want to be known as someone who tortures my daughter-in-law. Please go down."

After Gu Yuxi left, Mrs. Deng felt that her son's life was so miserable. Why couldn't he be cured? Wasn't Gu Yuxi a famous doctor? Why didn't he cure her son?

"Mingzhu, Wenjie is inhumane and has wronged Xiaoxi."

"Madam, why do you say that? Young Master..."

"You don't have to say more. I secretly asked a doctor to check his pulse three years ago. He will not have any descendants."

[Sister Xi, Madam Jie deliberately said that she was inhumane in order to stop his mother from wanting to stuff women into his backyard.]

[I see. I didn't expect there would be these little episodes. Why didn't I realize he was so good at it before?]

Gu Yuxi's stepmother-in-law came and went in a hurry. She left after living in the county magistrate's mansion for three days, and life returned to normal.

One month later…

"Sir, General, this time the insect plague has affected our Fuxing County, and a lot of crops in the fields have been destroyed."

"I also want to discuss disaster relief with you all. Many places have been affected and the people are complaining. We can't go on like this."

"The mountains around Fuxing City have blocked a lot of locusts. The capital is also suffering from severe disasters. The prince and others don't know where to start."

"Because we used too many drugs, the locusts are no longer effective. The method we had thought of is no longer feasible."

"..."

A group of people discussed a lot, but in the end they couldn't find a solution. Gu Beicheng looked at the cooked eggs in his arms, and his eyes lit up: "Brother-in-law, I think one person may have a solution."

Deng Wenjie's eyes lit up: "Brother, you are right. My wife often uses locusts as medicine. Maybe she really knows how to overcome insect pests."

Someone suggested: "Sir, the lady knows about growing vegetables and grains, and knows medicine, maybe she has a way to solve the locust plague."

"Madam, it's righteous. If there is no other way, it's fine."

"I will go back to discuss this with my wife. Today, she...seems to have gone to the chicken farm with my sister-in-law to inspect the situation."

Deng Wenjie and Gu Beicheng acted as soon as they said they would. After leaving the county government office, they rode out of the city one by one on horseback and headed towards a large farm.

When we arrived at the farm, there were birds singing and flowers blooming. The trees were full of fruits and vegetables, and some servants were harvesting potatoes in the fields.

Deng Wenjie and Gu Beicheng arrived at the farm, where some servants were wiping the eggs they had just picked up. They arranged them neatly and put them on a horse-drawn carriage to be transported to various counties for sale.

"grown ups."

"No need to be so polite, where is the madam?"

"I am in the chicken house with the general's wife to see the recent results of the laying hens. The general's wife is really amazing. These laying hens lay two eggs a day. We servants are also lucky enough to eat good food."

"Which room is it? Take me and the general there."

"My Lords, please come this way."

When they reached the door of the thatched cottage, they saw Li Jingshu holding a hen and inspecting the situation. A baby was holding a duckling and playing with it. "Aunt, this duckling is fun."

Li Jingshu said to the woman next to the small kitchen, "Xixi, the chicken seems to be sick. Fortunately, the medicine was used in time, otherwise our chicken farm would have to close."

"Sister-in-law, can't you hope that we will get better? We can only eat eggs today. I made an egg feast. You're welcome."

"Ah, eggs again. No meat, no problem. Eggs every day."

Gu Beicheng walked over and asked, "Madam, do you think these eggs are not tasty?"

"Master!"

Deng Wenjie moved closer to Gu Yuxi and cooked with her, and asked, "Madam, are the chickens in the chicken farm okay?"

"It's all right. I just planted some mushrooms that are edible. Would you like to try them, husband?"

"Let me do it. It smells like cooking oil here."

Deng Wenjie took the spoon and started cooking, while the Gubei Cheng couple outside started to set the table. Today's staple food was potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the side dishes were eggs and mushrooms.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"Xixi, there is an epidemic of insects now. I want to ask you if you have any way to get rid of these pests?"

"There is definitely a way, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get my things back."

"how you said that?"

"We can release chickens, or catch some locusts and treat them with some medicine. Another option is to grow mushrooms."

“Growing mushrooms?”

“It’s the mushroom in your bowl.”
